The Gerber Fire Starter is a compact and lightweight fire starting tool that is a must-have for every hiker, hunter and survival enthusiast. Fire control is one of the most important wilderness skills, and a reliable lighter gives you the confidence to navigate the terrain in all conditions - even when conditions change unexpectedly.
The core of the lighter is a ferrocerium rod, which is ignited by an included metal striker. Ferrocerium produces hot sparks that ignite well even on wetter ignition materials. The striker is sturdy and fits well in the hand, so you can make sparks in cold conditions with gloves on.
The lighter body has an IPX4-rated waterproof storage compartment to hold dry ignition material such as charcoal, wadding or commercial ignition material. This keeps the most important part of the fire dry in all weathers.
The firebox has an integrated emergency whistle with 100 decibels. The sound of the whistle will bring help much further away than shouting, which can be crucial in case of getting lost or injured. A retaining cord holds all the parts together securely and allows the lighter to be attached to a rucksack, belt loop or keyring.
